Autonomous Nottingham presents… the Sunday School.
We are all connected through our involvement – in different ways – in an active political / politicised community. We work hard to struggle for radical social change in many ways. But are we as successful as we would want?
In our rush to be ‘productive’ or ‘active’, do we overlook/take for granted/assume what our ideas are on how we want the world to be? To this end our discussions can end up reproducing the feel of our everyday race.
The Sunday School aims to create a space which breaks through that. In fact, our only aim is to understand one another’s perspective on the questions and ideas that as anarchists, hippies, autonomists, hoodlums, burnouts, revolutionaries and drop outs we ask ourselves. It comes out of many discussions with many different people in our community. Its about learning together and its exciting, because hopefully we will share a lot about what inspires us every day.
Discussions will be facilitated, and open to all. Each week the discussion will be framed around some key questions. The space will be child friendly.
We’ll endeavour to do this through two ways. One, all children are invited to participate in the discussions we are having, their ideas will be given as much time and space as anyone else’s. Of course if they don’t want to participate then two, we’ll have an area for them to do their thing in, games, paper and paints will all be provided.
The Sunday school will last five weeks to begin with, and then we’ll see how it’s going and what we have learnt from the experiment.
